George and Martha are great! From misunderstandings over split pea soup (blech!) to the infamous tooth incident, George and Martha are the best of friends who have lots of hilarious oddball adventures. Sure to make kids (and grown-ups) laugh and laugh!

We adore George and Martha! By searching everywhere, we eventually found and read the entire collection. They are short and sweet stories of 2 very different hippopotamuses as you follow them in their friendship.
